Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales Falconry Centre
and Hawk Experience
The only public Falconry Centre within a 40 mile radius
Situated between the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park and the stunning Trough of Bowland,
we are found only 3 miles from the market town of Settle.
Follow the brown tourist signs.
We are the first privately owned Falconry Centre in the North of England
Set in dramatic limestone surroundings, the Falconry Centre's main aim is to educate and to make one aware that many of the world's birds of prey are under the threat of extinction, and hopefully by successful captive breeding and educational programmes, these magnificent creatures will be safeguarded for the benefit of future generations.
The Falconry Centre houses around 50 birds of prey including various species of Eagles,
Vultures, Kites, Hawks, Falcons and Owls from around the world.
